Chapter 988: Rough Road (Part 2)

"So heavy!"

Luo Zhenzhen walked in front with a discomfort, and Hu Xue behind her said with a smile.

"Zhenzhen, I'll help you recite some."

Hu Xue and the others are in the 144th team, with 18 males and 12 females. Among them, only the team leader and doctor are old clerks, and the rest are all new recruits.

“Be quiet!”

The team leader in the front row turned around and scolded him. The group was passing through the Bridge of Crying. It was already past 11 o'clock. All the members had already put on their equipment and were carrying characteristic backpacks full of food, water and some equipment. Each team member had a weight of 50 to 60 kilograms.

The 7-day marching amount was 10 kilograms of water, plus 3 kilograms of military rations, 40 kilograms of weapons and equipment, and some other equipment.

"What should I do? I'm urgent to pee!"

At this time, a girl behind Hu Xue muttered.

"Jenny! Just now, you didn't listen!"

Hu Xue said, Yu Tong next to her stared at them squintly.

"Do I want you a kettle?"

A male clerk in front said with a smile, Jenny was so angry that she wanted to speak.

"I'll say it again. If you still don't feel quiet, all the staff will be given 5 points!"

The team leader who led the team in front said a big furiously, the other teams were the same, and they were more or less whispering. The captain of the 144 team, Kakuri, could no longer hold back. On weekdays, he was strict with the members of his team and was not serious. However, at the suggestion of the team doctor Sophia next to him, he relaxed a little for the members of the team.

The recruits of each team have 100 points. The captain and team doctor will add or reduce points based on the march in the middle. The rest will be used to reduce points during the march. Starting from 0:00 tonight to 0:00 in seven days, the deadline will be for the period. If you arrive within 1 hour, you will be deducted points. After the exercise, those with less than 85 points will fail.

The elimination rate over the years has been basically 60%, but the losers have another chance. The routes for military exercises in February next year will be longer and the environment will be worse than the first time.

200 teams were marching on the 3-kilometer-long Western Warning Station Crying Bridge. Many people already felt the chill. Even wearing the latest technology warm bodysuit, they could still feel that when the cold wind slid across their bodies, they would quickly take away some temperature.

A large number of recruits began to close the gaps in front of their clothes, and some directly adjusted the clothes apart. Not only was the cold in the air, but what made many people even more uncomfortable was that a pungent metal smell had already started to retching.

The veil of defense against harmful particles cannot block harmful particles 100%. Some people already feel uncomfortable in their throats.

The land under your feet was hard and rugged. The 144th team where Hu Xue was finally walking across the Bridge of Crying. Time passed by minute by minute. At 11:35, 200 teams, each team two rows, stood in a giant square array in order. The searchlights on both sides were like the sun in the night sky, illuminating everything around them very clearly.

Many members of the team looked at the dark place in the distance and could not see anything. The only thing they could see was the dust floating in the wind and the darkness behind the light.

How to survive in this kind of place!

Hu Xue stared at everything in front of her with her eyes blankly. This is the feeling of all the recruits. Although most people have seen the barrier area, they have only seen it on the city wall at best. Many people have already felt fear in their hearts when they stepped on this land in such a cold night.

Smack

Two white lights hit a platform. Tianhen slowly floated onto the platform like the wind. After standing firm, he immediately took out his cell phone and called out an amplifier device. Facing the pair of eyes below, Tianhen pressed the brim of his hat with his hand, and the wind was very strong.

"Tonight! It is the 60th barrier area military exercise in our 3rd Military Section. Before that, I want to tell you that the reason you stand here today is because you have chosen three departments and chosen as a soldier who protects the people! Tonight you have only one mission. If you step on this cold and dark land, the next march will be extremely hard! This is a training for all of you who participated in the exercise for the first time. Maybe someone will fall down halfway, maybe someone will give up halfway, or even be injured, or... death!"

Tianhen's last words made many people widen their eyes. Tianhen smiled coldly and glanced at the crowd.

"What is the day under the sun? Please don't forget this. No matter what difficulties you face, please think more about what you have left! Finally, I sincerely wish you good luck. I will wait for you to come back at the Eastern Guard Station!"

Tianhen said, saluting the people below, and soon everyone stood attentively and returned the greeting. Tianhen glanced at the time, at 11:45.

"It's time to start!"

With Tianhen's order, Team 1 and Team 2 left the line. After passing the platform where Tianhen was, they came to a machine that had been placed by several directors. After the two captains left the line, Team 1's captain said.

"I'll choose the head!"

All teams are delayed by 1 minute, each trip is two teams, and the route chosen is not fixed from the beginning. The west-to-south route and the west-to-north route are determined by choosing the positive side of the coin. The head is the southwest route and the number is the northwest route. At the beginning, the team with the front numbers is selected. If not selected, you have to take the northwest route. If you select it, you can go southwest route. If you select it, you can go southwest. The team with the back numbers is the first choice.

A huge light and shadow-generating coin flipped in the air and finally fell slowly, which was a number.

The captain of Team 1 frowned, the female captain of Team 2 smiled and set off with his team members. The captain of Team 1 broke his mouth helplessly and could only lead the team to the northwest route. At this time, he had already put on a goggles, and the route indicators could be clearly seen inside. The team members behind him also wore wind glasses, which could see various values ​​and route signs.

"I'm really lucky enough to betray you!"

The military doctor from Team 1 said, and the captain of Team 1 nodded.

"There is no choice but to adopt the highest level of marching combat strategy."

Round after round of teams began to set off. At this time, many members of the team Hu Xue were in were a little confused, because it can often be seen that the first choice was the head of the person, and few people took the initiative to choose numbers.

At this time, Yu Tong, who was on Hu Xue's right, muttered.

"Because the armed forces in the north are more rampant and the situation is more chaotic. I have heard some old clerks talk about it before, and it is not necessarily possible to have a firefight."

Yu Tong's words not only changed the expression of the people who heard the team, but also heard the people from the two teams next to him. The originally quiet team members began to stir up again.

Time passed by minute by minute, and each team set out after delaying for 3 minutes. Finally, it was Su Xue’s turn to choose the team at around 1 o’clock. They chose the first choice, and the captain Kakuri chose the head.

The moment the coin was thrown out, the team members stared at the flipped and fell coins, praying that it was the head, and a small-scale shout broke out in the team. Captain Kakuri also breathed a sigh of relief and ran slowly with the team.

The team members who had been standing in the cold wind for an hour and whose body was a little stiff due to the cold were extremely uncomfortable at this time. Hu Xue helped Luo Zhenzhen beside him, and everyone was still running. Jenny was almost unable to hold it in.

"Captain, I want to go to the bathroom!"

"I'll talk about it after jogging for a minute."

The light behind him was getting farther and farther away from the 144th team. There was almost no sign of the 141 team ahead, and there were only a vague outline in the distance.

"Don't peek!"

Luo Zhenzhen, Hu Xue and several other female team members formed a circle. Jenny finally felt relieved and the team began to move forward again.

"Start walk slowly now!"

"Captain, let's run quickly, while everyone is full of energy now!"

A male team member suggested.

"Don't you understand what I said? Zhang Jin."

Kakuri said as he directly called out the light and shadow screen, lit Zhang Jin's avatar and deducted him 5 points.

"Captain, I..."

Zhang Jin was just about to speak, but he was pulled by several male team members. Team doctor Sophia smiled. Someone suggested what to do at the beginning. This is also a common mistake made by many young young boys. Walking slowly is to allow people who come to the barrier area for the first time to adapt to the land and air in the barrier area. Moreover, running in such a wind is extremely irrational, and physical fitness will drop very quickly. The team leaders are all experienced team leaders, and they all know how to do it. Marines according to pace and route are the best practices. To speed up the marching can only be done in the afternoon when the temperature is concerned.

Although this planet is obscured and the sun is dark, and the light roots are difficult to transmit in, but there will be a trace of afterglow that may be cast every day, and this is why the sky will turn gray during the day.

At this time, Tianhen was still sitting on the platform, looking at the information transmitted. Sure enough, more than 1,000 people were deducted points as soon as they traveled, and the most serious one was deducted 10 points. Once the march was in addition to being unable to continue marching, the members of the team with scores below 60 would be immediately deported. The scores can tell a lot of problems. There are already problems within the team. The person who created the problem must be famous, otherwise the person may drag down the entire team members in the future.

The youngest recruits in this marching were 22 years old and the oldest were only 29 years old. They were a group of recruits who were recruited at the beginning of this year.

Tianhen leaned quietly on the platform, with his hands on his head, and there was still a team below that did not travel. Looking back on his bullshit marching in the third department, the environment was even worse and more harsh, but he was from the barrier area and had long been used to everything here.

The previous three departments entered the barrier area not for marching exercises, but for directly carrying out tasks. Many clerks even chose to resign when they heard that they were going to the barrier area to perform tasks, and even if they were sent to the military court, they would do whatever they could.

The previous tasks were not guaranteed at all, and even the ombudsmen in the barrier area were often unable to contact. By the time they were found, they had been dead for a long time. Now it is different. Follow-up monitoring throughout the whole process can ensure that the mortality rate is zero, but the elimination rate is very high. Although the environment is not as strict as before, the standards are very high.

Scream

Hu Xue took out a small can of spray from her waist, pressed it on the bottom of the veil, and aimed the intersection of the veil with the interface. Many team members have already started to do this, and everyone feels a little dizzy.

"Xiaoxue, are we climbing or going down the mountain?"

Hu Xue smiled helplessly. The height difference on the ground made it difficult for many people to adapt. Moreover, they carried such heavy things on their backs. Although they were doing weight-bearing running training of more than 50 kilograms on weekdays, it was when the air was fresh and the ground was flat.

Many people have begun to experience varying degrees of hypoxia and feel very uncomfortable. Moreover, the things inhaled in the wind have made many people feel their throats have become dry and itchy. Some people have already started drinking water. Suddenly, Luo Zhenzhen took off her veil and lie on the ground and vomited.

"I told you not to eat too much, you won't listen."

Hu Xue squatted down and patted Luo Zhenzhen's back. Team doctor Sophia came over and took out a temperature measuring instrument. After measuring Luo Zhenzhen, her body temperature was normal.

At this time, the captain Kakuli deducted Luo Zhenzhen 1 point directly. All the team members stopped. The man volunteered to help Luo Zhenzhen remove some things on his body and carry them on his back.

Kakuri looked at the volunteer men and gave them 1 point each.

"I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry, I..."

Luo Zhenzhen's voice was almost about to cry, Hu Xue comforted her. At this time, a small team passed by them, and several female team members laughed. They were the team that set out from behind, but they should catch up with them.

Although each team has the same general direction, the routes are different. Only the initial route has a relatively large intersection, and the subsequent routes are winding. Although there are intersection points, it is difficult to meet together.

Kakuri looked at the time. Half an hour had passed, but the journey was less than two kilometers. There were some ruins on the route that were living or unoccupied. The 30-day cycle was nearly 1,000 kilometers. Their daily march was at least 30 kilometers. However, in such a harsh environment, the time to travel quickly was only from morning to noon. Now they had to walk about 8 kilometers and then find a place to rest for 3 to 4 hours. The temperature was dropping rapidly, leaving them with little time. If they could not go far, they had to be forced to deviate from the march route and go to some places that could serve as cover for rest.

Many team members have already felt cold sweat coming out, and the sticky and warmth on their skin will soon become cold. The temperature of the inhaled air is very low, and their lungs are also starting to hurt hotly, their throats are extremely dry and itchy, and they also need oxygen replenishment from time to time.

After walking for a while, the team saw the faint lights, and Hu Xue and his group walked towards a dilapidated town in front of them.

"Continue the march after 20 minutes of rest!"

After Kakuri gave the order, Hu Xue hurriedly supported Luo Zhenzhen. The two of them found the aisle between two dilapidated houses and sat down.

"I want to go home, Xiaoxue!"

Luo Zhenzhen trembled, Hu Xue hugged her and said comfortingly.

"It's okay Zhenzhen, you see, there are not living people here. We should adapt in a few days. After all, it's not in vain to do so after doing so much training."
